Nestled high in the Mayacamas Range, at an elevation of 1,700 feet above the Napa Valley floor, Keenan Winery is a remarkable estate that has become synonymous with quality winemaking. Established in 1974 by Robert Keenan, the winery occupies the historic site of the defunct Conradi Winery, where Robert envisioned transforming 180 acres of forest into a thriving vineyard.
With a commitment to cultivating exceptional wines, Keenan removed tree stumps and rocks to make way for meticulously planted rows of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. His vision extended beyond the vineyards; he enlisted an engineer to redesign the original winery structure and collaborated with contractors to ensure that the facility was ready for the 1977 harvest. This dedication to craftsmanship and quality laid the foundation for what would soon become a revered name in Napa Valley winemaking.
Since its inaugural vintage, Keenan Winery has built an impressive reputation for producing wines of intense character and complexity, capturing the unique attributes of the mountain terroir. The elevated location offers a distinctive climate that contributes to the development of rich flavors and vibrant acidity, essential for crafting exceptional wines.
Today, Keenan Winery continues to thrive, blending traditional winemaking techniques with modern practices to create a portfolio that reflects the essence of its unique environment. With an unwavering commitment to quality and a passion for the craft, Keenan Winery remains a cherished destination for wine lovers, showcasing the best of Napa Valley's mountainous terroir.
